I think its important for everyone to look up portraits. and the kind of crops people do on them. when you have a task... for instance: sad portrait, emotional portrait etc might help you along the way when trying to gain inspiration for your picture.
Also it is important to look at what others are doing, and what they are doing well ... learning from your peers is just as important as learning from the comments you get Get to know your judges, compare what you did well with one round to the next and take advantage where you think you might be able to score more marks!
Thanks for the comment judges!! @xJojox is absolutely right, watching and learning from the other simmers is so important. Read everyone's comments because the judges make great points. I know I've learned and grown by leaps and bounds in the few short months I've been back in the comp fold.
~ Thank you for the Time & effort & especially the feed-back from the Judges, I always read every ones as there is always good points to learn & also not what to do,so I appreciate that, Thank you @xJojox & @Mamajanaynay ♥ ♥
~ I wish I knew about the Hands as I so wanted to use a pose with hands for "Cy*ber Tears" to frame her face!
~ I think every ones is a winner, as they are all so amazing & imaginative,love them all!♥ ♥
Thanks for comments judges. I thought I could do better and make it more high fashion with a little more punch you know, so I agree. I actually had something else in mind, but I realize it had to be bare shoulder so that kind of threw me off too. I'll do better.
Thanks Judges For Scores & Feedback -- I Didn't Really Understand That The Eyebrows And Hair Were Suppose To Be Set Apart..... But I Guess That Only Makes Sense As The Eyebrows Were The Focus...... Sorry For My BIG / HUGE Images Using SWRE Or SRWE........ Program At 3000 RES........ I Will For Sure Re-Size --- Congrats To All Placers........ Well Deserved!!!!
@aussiekarima I'm the same about the hand, I didn't think we could use hands in the picture. I wish I knew too. For this round I just did it because other did.
Thank you, judges for your comments! I actually started out with a different color hair, but really liked that one and changed it. Sorry that I missed the point that eyebrows and hair should be different!
@xJojox Can I go ahead and ask for an extension, please?
I started a new job last week and my bf surprised me with an impromptu mini vacation as a graduation gift. I'm still going to try to finish this tonight, though.
Ooh, this looks amazing, I love all this portraits so far (And yes, I'm back )
You know, if there is a second cycle, I am actually considering entering then. I will have much more time now and I think I am ready to return from my break
And judge @Mamajanaynay (you have the score card and you can early judge ANYTIME for the current contestants who have already submitted and then post me the score card when the extension period is over).
The extension is in place still and will end about 24 hours from this post (to those who needed the time, the round clock is not updated but if you want to keep an eye on it the clock will tell you how long it has been SINCE the round end. Your extension is for a day ... for be mindful of the time you still have.
For those who want a kick start on your round 3 assignment, it is posted, goodluck

Everyone has such great entries so far !
There is 20 hours left if you need an extension please let me know.
Entries for Round 2 have been amazing! Don't envy the judges for having to review
@xJojox any chance we could get the prompt / instructions for Round 3 a bit early (like Round 2)?
